I'm trying to write an click event for save button. However, when I write in xaml, there is no OnClick function or Click function for me.

So, how can write an event for the button to perform some action?

Where is the XAML for your button declaration?

<Button Content="Save" Height="27" Width="50"/>

this code is inside a user control that I created.

You should learn MVVM. It would seem that save should be part of the ViewModel, not part of the View. In this case you would bind a Command to a property in the ViewModel with a type of ICommand. I have done some projects using WPF, but not MVVM, and have found that it is a mistake. Much easier to maintain the MVVM pattern than to deal with directly handling events.

XML

<button content="Save" height="27" width="50" click="Button_Click" />

In XAML the event is "Click" not "OnClick" as it was in windows forms.

I have try to using "Click" but it does not having this event. And it will only show me "ClickMode"

It is definitely called Click. Where about's are you trying to define this? In the button definition within the user control, or in the main window that is hosting the user control?

sandra_tay 18-Jun-13 4:17am

Yes, I define this within the user control.

Pheonyx 18-Jun-13 4:21am

Can you show the complete XAML for the user control please?
